During the past year no official Club rambles have taken 

 place, although one futile effort was made to inaugurate one at 

 Easter. "What the reason is, I cannot say but no doubt, the 

 difficulties in travelling and the limited time of many of the 

 members form two of the causes of our laches in this respect. 

 Nevertheless individual members are constantly making excur- 

 sions which always result in a rich harvest of specimens, all of 

 which are duly recorded in the pages of the Journal. The fol- 

 lowing is a list of some of the excursions undertaken by mem- 

 bers and the number of days spent in each. 



Mayaro — East coast 14 days. High woods of Caparo — 3 weeks and 1 

 week. Caura — Northern range of hills, 3 days. Maraval, Blue Basin, 

 Carenage, Santa Cruz, Maracas, St. Anns, — 1 day excursions being valleys 

 and places near town. 



The following is a list of donations and the names of their
